Woods' Brigade

On November 25th, 1863, Brig. Gen. Charles R. Woods' Brigade of Osterhaus' Division in Blair's Corps, including the 13th Illinois, 3d Missouri, 12th Missouri, 17th Missouri, 27th Missouri, 29th Missouri, 31st Missouri, 32d Missouri, and 76th Ohio, led the advance of Hooker's column from Lookout and reached Rossville at 3 o'clock. It pushed through the Gap, with the 27th Missouri in advance encountering a battery supported by two regiments of Clayton's Brigade in Stewart's Division. Woods, taking the rest of the brigade over the ridge to the right, reached the enemy's flank, captured a large part of Clayton's Brigade and one gun, and then moved north along the eastern base of the Ridge, charging to the summit south of Bragg's Headquarters.
